Title: 1/48 Fokker D.VII F (Roden)
Post by: Naimbs on March 01, 2015, 09:16:23 AM: Hello,

I know I have several project. This is not very serious. I am dispersed .... :-X

I restarted an old project yesterday. I present to you the current work:

A bientôt

Post by: Naimbs on March 07, 2015, 06:14:06 PM: Hi,

Thank you for your comments!

The Roden engines are very beautiful in their boxes.

Iwik: not wax, it's red plastic stretched flame and cut.

I really like the Bo'subject for the Mercedes engine, and I looked on the forum for the BMW.

This link (and others) is awesome:

This one is very nice:

Now, it's in the painting step.

Post by: Naimbs on March 07, 2015, 10:49:51 PM: Hi,

I started painting. I have to do rework with a fine paintbrush

I used the salt' technique, after adding the last pieces (red arrow):

I have health problems, my vertebrae that make me suffer..... :-\

Yesterday I placed the decals Aviattic. This is specific to the Fokker D.VII F.
This is absolutely awesome, and it is a great pleasure for me.

I bought another Aviattic reference to treat the tail. We can observe the pre-shading.

I must continue, cut the excess parts, and applying a softener product (Mr. Mark Softer).

I recommend without limitation purchase. This is an extraordinary quality!!

Richard, your decals have greatly increased my motivation! But, I'm an idiot, I haven't seen you was producing decals with white decal paper for rib tapes.

I put the masks and I paint in white. It's not perfect but adequate!

This is a picture with some of the finished parts, almost. I am very happy :)!

Absolutely stunning skiil and craftsmanship my friend. This project is a more than fitting tribute to you Master Level Talent. Amazing details too. Honestly if I hadn't read she was a 1/48 scale Roden kit beforehand I would have believed you were working in 1/32 scale. Well Done !
Keep up the excellence my friend.

Work continues with wings almost completed
